Validates equation parameters against their category requirements.

Usage

validate_equation_params(category, equation_num, params)

Arguments

category

Character string naming the bioenergetic category (e.g. "consumption", "respiration", "egestion", "excretion", "predator").

equation_num

Character string identifying the equation variant within the category (e.g. "1", "2").

params

Named list of parameter values to validate against the requirements defined for the specified category and equation.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE if all required parameters are present and pass their range checks. Throws an error with a descriptive message if category or equation_num is unrecognised, if any required parameter is missing from params, or if any parameter value falls outside its admissible range.
